Subject: Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies & Proxy Voting Records (s7-38-02)

I urge you to enact the rule "Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies & Proxy Voting 
Records by Registered Management Investing Companies" now under discussion.  As a 
small investor I believe this rule is one more piece of needed information for 
persons who invest in Mutual Funds.  Everything should be open to investors regarding 
how they vote our proxies and I believe this rule will help reestablish confidence in 
the Stock Markets.  Very few small investors can attend the Shareholders meetings but 
we would like the assurance that companies must disclose how our proxies were actually 
voted by the manager of those funds we have chosen to invest for us.

Thank you from a very small investor.
